    Necrosphere is a tough, ruthless but fair challenge which takes a shiny new take at the 2D platformer genre by reducing its controls to a strange minimum. With only two buttons to cope with the progressive range of movements, players will have to learn how to master the game's mechanics. Thank to the addition of an even more hardcore bonus, the main game short's length will keep players awake for more.

    This is a very interesting metroidvania adventure fans of the genre will enjoy, although it feels very limited compared to other similar titles.

    The simplest control scheme in the world will not save you from frustration and anxiety. But if you arm yourself with patience, you will find this an enjoyable difficult platformer.

    Necrosphere Deluxe is a game that I want to like a lot more, and it starts off promising, but the innovative controls aren’t worth the hassle that they bring. It would be test enough if you could run, dash, and rocket boost up using separate button inputs, but I found myself fighting the control scheme more than the actual obstacles in the game. Terry’s Dream is a nice bit of ultra-challenging side content, but it’s only for the bravest of players as your progress isn’t saved like it is in the base game. Given the two-button controls, it would have been nice to at least be able to map the buttons in a specific way. As it is, only masochists need apply for this one. I’m ready to tap out.
